About
A life built between
imagination and execution.
I spent most of my professional life in technology, building and selling companies. In parallel, I never stopped being what I studied first: a graduate of art school and a photographer.
My current work is a return to matter. I make multilayered prints on aluminium, glass and other unconventional materials. Each piece is composed as an object, not only an image: three surfaces, three treatments, and the depth that opens between them.
The subject matter comes from the places both lives share: precision, systems, moments that only exist for a fraction of a second, and the quiet after them.
“I do not separate art from engineering. Both begin with imagination, demand precision, and exist to make the impossible visible.”
Artistic Practice
Built in layers.
01 — Image
Human narratives
Figures become symbols of resilience, desire, invention and the drive to move forward.
02 — Material
Engineered depth
Aluminium, glass, acrylic, resin and light turn a flat image into a dimensional object.
03 — System
Art as construction
Composition, fabrication, registration, shadow and reflection designed as one visual system.
Beyond the Studio
Technology & innovation.
Before the studio, decades of building companies, technologies and physical systems — energy, applied research and branding. That experience still shapes how I think about materials, mechanisms and change.
